Local Biodiversity Action Plan for Belfast

Biodiversity is the total variety of life on Earth.

It includes everything from people to plants and animals to micro-organisms and it also covers genetic variation and habitats.

Belfast's Local Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP) is a way of encouraging people and organisations to work together to deliver action for biodiversity locally.

We've put together a short four minute video which explains more about biodiversity and what you can do to help.

You will need Windows Media Player, Quicktime or Real Player to view our biodiversity video.

All videos are streamed at 150 kilobits per second.

For maximum quality, we recommend viewing our Windows Media version in the original video window.

Everyone can get involved and everyone can play a part.
